CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2023 Beychevelle was bottled in June 2025. "It underwent a strict selection, so this Grand Vin represents 53% of the total crop," winemaker Philippe Blanc told me. Allowing this five minutes to open in the glass, it has a refined bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and a sprig of wild mint. Clean and precise, it gains intensity yet always conveys a sense of control. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins. Again, much like the Amiral de Beychevelle, it has a precise and refreshing mineralite-driven finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a delicious Beychevelle that will just need three to four years in bottle.

The 2023 Beychevelle has turned out especially well this year, exhibiting a more integrated, seductive style than recent vintages that were constructed in a punchier, more extracted register. Offering up aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of pen ink, violets and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a deep core of fruit and a classy, suave profile that foregrounds the estate's prime vineyard holdings on the plateau around Ducru-Beaucaillou. It's a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot that represents 50% of the estate's production.

61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot.A lovely example of Beychevelle with classic bordeaux precision and style matched with ripe, dark-red/black fruits. Marries density and weight on the palate with subtle oak, spice notes, bright acidity and focus/clarity on the finish. A delicious example which will drink well when young but has plenty of ageing potential. Impressive and continues to affirm the quality being achieved at this estate. (AWH)
